Good for you.

I can't wait to try it but I know it's at least a year away (although I actually thought maybe later this summer

).

How does it feel?

I've been riding on the street for ages so I'm worried about the transition. But I'm a smooth consistent rider so I'm hoping that transfers well.

Was the guy you let borrow your bike one of the ones you have sex with while they are sleeping? I guess letting him borrow your bike is the least you can do for your midnight rapings of him.

See if you can fit into one of the FAST School's Phase One dates, or if they are doing a women only session this year. Those usually have a space or two left.

If you're like me when I first took the school, back in '96, then you'll be scared to death for the first couple of laps and then start to really enjoy yourself. It isn't about lap times, lean angle, or beating anyone else. It's all about going out there and becoming a better rider by getting on track instruction by some former and current top Canadian pros, and having a blast while doing it.

So its fun aint it! Alex , my 4 year old was alittle ill or I was all set to come spectate. Glad you had fun and welcome to the addiction. I am so ready for a fix I am threatening to sign up, street tires and all...

I'll be back in September for Rider Appreciation I hope. Probably going to get a different bike for track though. My 48 thousand mile beast is a little old for that. Between the track day last sunday and the iron butt yesterday, I burned about 1/3 quart of oil. Not a lot, but those were both pretty high stress events for an engine that old.

You're doing better than me... every single time I've either raced at Hallett or done a track day/STAR school, I've crashed lol

Fuck that track and the bs price on Shiner in OK! lol

It's definitely not as smooth as you would hope for. How far is it from you?
